HURRICANE

As you are

MAINE's POV

Ano ba tong paandar ng KS, BEAUTY QUEEN?! Parang I don't fit the profile. I never saw myself as one. Nahihiya kasi ako. And even when I joined the Santa Cruzan before, wala talaga eh, pang kalye lang ang beauty ko. Parang hindi tugma sa personality ko.

Beauty Queens are supposed to be poised, confident, and graceful. Eh ako? Clumsy, timid at malikot! Ang awkward tuloy isuot nitong gown and crown. Ang init pa, shems.

Habang inaayusan ako, I browsed through social media. Kahapon, I came across edits ng picture ko yung pinost sa EB page na nakataas ang kamay at paa. Grabe sila, yung edits nakakaloka. Merong nagsswimming, gymnast, basketball at kung ano ano pa. Infairness, ang galing ng gumawa. Dyahe lang, wala akong poise. Hahaha. Kebs.

I also saw pics from Alden's shoot this morning. We weren't able to talk na last night. Hinayaan ko na siya magrest and spend time with his family. Pero I miss KS Alden na rin, more than 1 week na kong lonely eh. Hahaha. Sabi sa twitter, pagkatapos ng shoot niya, deretso EB na siya. Totoo kaya? Kasi he didn't say anything to me eh. Hindi rin ako na-orient dito. Well anyway, I guess I just need to prepare myself.

Oh ayan na KS na. Let's do this!

After finishing KS, I quickly changed my clothes because we were heading to Broadway Centrum. Pero shems yung segment kanina ha, hindi ako na-orient Tisoy. Grabe siya, makakahalata na yung Aldubnation nito eh. Pag nagkita kami, babatukan ko yun. Hay, sana mag-abot kami sa Broadway.

Nasan na si Rj? Ay wala. Okay.

Punta nga ko sa lungga niya. I snapped a photo of the tv, puro handprint. Ano to Rj! Ang obvious mo naman. Grabe ka. I went to snapchat and posted a video ang photos on My story. Ang fun din nitong app na to, nageenjoy ako masyado. Hay. Ang giddy ko today. Kasama ko na kasi ulit si Rj sa KS eh. Sana kasama ko rin siya later. Mag-isa lang ako sa condo. Sleepover sa classmate niya si Dean. Well for now, alis muna kami nila Direk Pat. You know, eat dinner, shop and unwind. Something I haven't done for a long time.

San na kaya si Tisoy? No text or call. Busy nanaman yun. I guess I have to entertain myself na lang tonight. Snapchat!

I just got home. It was a fun night. Watch my snapchat story. Ang kulit ni Direk Pat at Ate Barbs! Sila talaga yung nagdala eh. Haha. Tawang tawa ako, sobrang weirded out yung people sa mall. Pero, kebs lang. Ganoin kami eh.

Hay, I plopped down the bed, took off my shoes and rubbed my feet. Grabe, napagod din ako. I'm still too lazy to put away my stuff, shower and change. I guess I'm just gonna fiddle with my phone. I text Mom and Dad as well as my siblings, to ask about their days. After that, I watched BTS videos and edits in ig and twitter, just to pass time. Di pa rin ako inaantok eh.

After about an hour of laziness, I heard a knock on the door. At the same time, my phone was ringing. It was Rj.

Ang lakas ng katok ha. Maybe it was Dean. He has keys so I was wondering why he was knocking. Well anyway, I just yelled, "DEAN! Ang ingay mo. May susi ka naman di ba? Pumasok ka nalang."

I answered my phone and the knocking stopped.

"Hello, Rj?"

"Hi Meng, how are you?"

"Okay lang. May shoot ka tonight?"

"Oo eh, pero katatapos lang."

"Oh, so pauwi ka na?"

"Yup.."

I didn't hear the door open, so I stood up to open it, kasi baka kelangan ni Dean ang tulong ko.
